Yes. It is halfway through the race and it is time for team changes. You got it right. I am not with team resurgent anymore. I am wrapping up ministry here in Nepal and I will share what I have been up to. But first I want to introduce you to my new team! Also, If you feel led to continue supporting me, I could use your help with personal expenses. You can donate here to my PayPal. Thank you, everyone, for your support, love, and encouragement on this journey!
WHO ARE WE?
We’re Team Deepa! You are probably wondering how we came up with our name or what it even means. Well, let me let you into our team. Here in Nepal at debrief, we all found out that we were all on a team together after flipping over sheets of paper with our names on it. Our leadership team heard from the Lord that we were the 6 to be on a team together. So that day we headed out on a team scavenger hunt around Kathmandu. Below are a few from the scavenger hunt list. As we were on the hunt, I began to take pictures of possible team names on signs. When we finished the scavenger hunt, we went out to lunch to share our testimonies, and as each one of us shared, the word deeper kept coming up. I then remembered that the first sign I took a picture of the start of the day was DEEPA! Crazy right!? We then realized that this is what we all desired and wanted in this team.
Come up with your team name and a clever way to tell the squad.
Bonus: find your new team name on a sign somewhere.
Find the longest beard you can find.
Share some Momos with your team.

We will be a team that calls each other higher daily, and we will be a team that celebrates one another! We will be bold, and I can’t wait to see how the Lord uses us together as one body.
